TBI Symptom

Vision Problems Since Your Work Injury?

Vision problems after a workplace head injury often go undiagnosed because standard eye exams miss them. But visual dysfunction from TBI can be as disabling as blindness for some occupations.

Warning Sign

If you've been told your eyes are 'fine' but you're still having vision problems after a work injury, you may need a neuro-optometric evaluation. Standard eye exams test the health of your eyes, not how your brain processes visual information. TBI can damage visual processing without damaging the eyes themselves.

Understanding Vision Problems After Work Brain Injury

Over 90% of traumatic brain injury survivors experience some form of vision problem. This includes double vision, difficulty focusing, light sensitivity, visual field loss, and problems with depth perception. These visual issues often go undiagnosed because they require specialized neuro-optometric testing that most eye doctors don't perform. Untreated vision problems can make it impossible to work, drive, or live normally.

You May Have TWO Claims

If someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your brain injury, you may have both a workers' compensation claim AND a separate personal injury lawsuit. This "two claims" strategy can significantly increase your total recovery.
